[REL]OpenHatch_V3_RH released

[Alex]

@ DD : Do you will release the new lights separately ? Cause the open hatch is a mod, and all SH3 players haven't necessarily a computer able to run SH3 with the open hatch mod enabled, but separately, the new lights could be taken into the expansion update we are all waiting for...
I'm just wondering !

[Loki]

very good, nice atmosphere.

Exactly, you´ve got the point. That´s why I´ve posted these "party sub" pics.

I thought about it. But the tweakfile I´ve written for that matter is a little complicated. But in case the guys you don´t name ask for it, I wouldn´t withhold the needed information. But I think they know how to change them as well.

I like very mutch your Christmass atmosphère !
Very nice !
Great job.

Anyway I get an other problem.
After having bought the RADAR and the SONAR, I lost all graphics (hydrophone room and RADAR room) in my IXb. But I have just seen that one needed a special mode for the IX ? Is this the reason of my problem ?

Edit:

It's ok Iget the green !



Fantastic !
Many thanks.

I've an other question: in the pdf I read this:

"The ambient light´s color for silent running may not be changed using them".

Does that want to say that when we shift to the silent running mod the lights become again red ?
Because I never yet saw any automatic change of color...

[Hartmann]

In the normal game, the light changes from white to red at night, could be possible make the day light in blue that change to red at night hours ??:hmm:

[Alex]

Yes !
It's possible via minitweaker

Download this mod, and set the values yourself to have a blue light at daytime.

ps : you can change the colours for night and day separately, and you can even change the colour of the light for CR (command room), RR (radio room) and CN (conning tower) separately. :p

There is no trigger to have a blue light when silent running though ... It's a hardcoded thing, unfortunately.

[Chisum]

Of course I've installed this mod with SH3 mini Tweaker, but I don't understand, why this "The ambient light´s color for silent running may not be changed using them" if the light still always the same ?

You lost all graphics? Do you mean the radio room just vanished or did the textures vanish?

When ordering to run silent, nothing will change. The ambient light stays at the same color you choosed for day/night. If we want to switch to blue when running silent, we need a triggerering byte. But there is none in the *.dat.


@Hartmann:
use my tweakfiles to change the daytime ambient light to blue.

There is a pic.


As you can see, I lost everything except some buttons.
I turn off OpenHatch and OpenHatch HiRes, all was ok.
It was onboard a IX.

Other question, historical this time.
How was the real lighting onboard U-Boat ?
How was it really the day and the night ?

I think the red was only before exit by night or before using the periscope, but i'm not sure because never see picture or movie in color onboard a real U-boat.

I have the 'TypeVII_OpenHatch_V1.01' with the 'Hi-res' activated and the 'TypeVII_OpenHatch_Peri_Correct' activated, however although the periscope has move dto it's correct position. The floor fixture remains at the rear of the compartment. The 'type VII_OpenHatch_Peri_Corect' extracts on my machine just as a file named 'Data', not sure if this is this the way this file should look. Have I got a wonky download of that file or should I just repack the file structure so it is like the rest of the JSGME mod files. Otherwise the mod looks great.

[R48]

I´ve made the lights a little warmer adding some red to them. Even if you don´t see it on the screens above, the lights are dimmed. The halo and the source aren´t as bright as in stock. Tell me what you think!

Great! I'm glad you dimmed the lights. Are they available for download yet?

[DivingDuck]

Moin,

@Chisum:
this sounds very strange to me. Never heard of a problem like that. Is your RR.dat 0KB in size?

@3Jane:
if the periscope´s floor housing is not underneath, then OH_Peri_Correct is not installed properly. Check your downloaded file. It should extract a folder "data", that´s correct. Copy this folder to your mods folder. Then enable via JSGME. Make sure to enable OH_V1.01 first, thereafter OH_Peri_Correct !!!

@R48:
no download until now. It´s going to be released with a few other fixes.

DD

I suppose DD, because never tuch it.

But the problem is now over for sure.
I installed your DD_TypeIX_OpenHatch_V1.01 + TypeIX_OpenHatch_HiRes and all is perfect by perfect !
Great job indeed, you are an artist, thanks a lot.


Still a thing I don't understand: in the real live, according to my readings, periscop immersion was at 18 mètres and not 13.
It's possible to change it ?

Edit: I discovered your filefront page, very interresting !
Thanks a lot.
I will install "debris" and will try to recover a rum barrel !

I put here your page because in the first post many links are off(peri correct ie).

Thanks, I will try that.

** Sorry, no. Tried the suggested order of activation, but still the same. Will keep trying. Just to confirm, this mod is for the Type VIIC ?.

[Reece]

Could someone please tell me why I have a blue night light with a violet lamp:

Any help would be appreciated.
